Comment: |
NGC7331 is one of the brightest galaxies not included in the Messier catalog. It is a spiral galaxy, similar in size and shape to our Milky Way. It is 50 million ly distant, and with diameter of 30 kly. Galaxies visible in vicinity of NGC7331 form just a visual group with NGC7331 and are in fact ten times more distant. In the bottom left corner of the image another interesting group of galaxies, called Stephan's quintet, is visible. Four of the galaxies make a real compact group, while fifth (bluish one) is only a visual member of the group. The group is some 300 million ly distant. |
